As I gaze upon the surface of the cutthroat reality of my past
I've noticed that my trials, tribulations, and situation
are getting the upper hand in this battle called life
And as I stare into this mirror...
this mirror that reflects time which has already been reveal,
I've realized that I had no idea what I'd have to go through,
every amount I would have to grow to,
I didn't know much at the time, but I have a feeling I was supposed to
You see, back then I didn't realize that I would have to use my real eyes
to see through these real lies that came and took aim at the pain in my heart and it still cries...
but can I still rise?
And still I...
I lay here in this deep, dark pit
And all the memories of my past days in my former glory, stay lit
in my mind from where I fell at the hands of my enemies...
But I assure you, this is not where I will obtain my eternal rest,
Whether you get behind me or not, I will give my absolute and very best!
Why? Because I'm not finished yet!
And as of this very moment, you need to realize...
that what doesn't kill me will strengthen my ability to rise up
and reignite into the revival of my spirit.
BUT WAIT...
Can you hear it? The laughter of my enemies at times can project louder than my will to succeed.
Can you feel it? The pain in my heart to know that this...
this is where I've fallen.
Can you taste it? Instead of the sweet taste of victory, the bitterness of defeat better describes my feelings as of late
Beaten and bruised from my head to my feet. Yes!...
This is what I mean when I say that this isn't a game.
Look I'm just being honest so don't take me for a lame
when I say that I'm not dying 'til I bring honor to my name!
The war isn't over... no... the fight isn't done
With every fiber in my being, the battle has just begun!
That is what comes to mind as I lay here...
versus every thought in my mind telling me to stay here. But stay here??
no... no...
I can slowly feel all these positive thoughts changing my mindset.
At the same time, I realize they were thoughts that I couldn't find yet.
Back against the dirt struggling to fight this fight, fighting for what's right, with all of my might!
To all my enemies, and to all the skeletons of my past... my setback may have amused you,
but my comeback is going to confuse you!!
Because what doesn't kill me, will strengthen my ability to arise, and reignite into the revival of my spirit!
